Red Hawk Ridge Golf Course

The 18-hole "Red Hawk Ridge" course at the Red Hawk Ridge facility in Castle Rock, Colorado features 6,942 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. The course rating is 71.6 and it has a slope rating of 129 on Bermuda grass. Designed by James J. Engh, the Red Hawk Ridge golf course opened in 1999. Bob Persichetti manages the course as the Golf Professional/Golf Shop Manager.

Even though it winds through neighborhoods, the dramatic elevation changes, wonderful views and interesting layout make this a great course. It is shorter than most courses, so even mid-handicaps will enjoy the gold tees best (the next longer tees are the black championship tees). To make up for the short length, the blue grass rough is especially long and tough, even around the greens. There is some element to 'target golf' here, but there are still holes where the big dog can be unleashed fully. The greens have some movement to them, usually away from the mesa top and toward the dry gullies, but they are mostly very fair. Usually in pretty good shape, but the wind and sun take their toll on this mostly tree-less course, as it sits along the edges of a mesa fully exposed. But the views are wonderful, and the layout is just absolutely enjoyable. The real fun is the down-hill holes, including two par 5s that are reachable, with some risk, by mere mortals. But, the course gets you back with three up-hill par 5s that are quite tough. Overall a very nice course that is truly enjoyable to play.
